Abstract

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: An attempt to present the problem of the erosion in democracy in the perspective of political, social and media factors along with verification of their global reach based on example of populist movements in Poland and Hungary.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The researched problem is the autocratization process in the context of the growing interest in populist movements in many countries around the world. To verify the goal, a reductionist method of analysis and logical construction was used, in which the occurrence of aspects appearing in the literature was examined in terms of their occurrence in both countries.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The current world political situation was presented. Then, three key factors destabilizing democracies in the world were exposed: political, social and media to finally describe, when combined, their influence on global processes of democracy erosion.

RESEARCH RESULTS: It was indicated that these factors are global in nature and their linkage and resultant have been shown, which in turn serve to deepen polarization by supporting populist views, which may cause serious political consequences and reduce support for democracy in the future.

CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The described factors and dependencies between them should lead to deeper reflection of actors and policy watchers in relation to the effects of media messages in the long term.
